Designed by Angelo Barovier in 1980, this piece of pure luxury and elegance is part of the renaissance revival series brought out by Barovier e Toso as a Post Modern tribute to the company's history and heritage. The series was short-lived due to the success of the large scale chandelier work the company had acquired from the affluent Saudi clientele and the subsequent emphasis put on lighting fixtures. The glass compote is crystal clear and extremely thin. The classical knop, stem and foot assembly and the dark purple rims are particularly attractive. The glass compote is a favorite composition tool in 16th & 17th century Italian paintings. The compote elevates the fruits above the wine goblets. This painting is by Fede Galazia (1578-1630) of Milan, Italy. This piece was signed on the bottom : "Barovier Toso Murano".Overall dimensions : 8.5"diam. x 7"h
